The Family Purse.

Gail Hamilton writes in the Co.'S
naOpOkitGn for August upon the domes-
tic money question. The relation of
money" sue says, lis but one of the
many relations that should feel the be-
nign and shaping touch of woman. 1t
is chiefly important because of its
miniStering power, because it is
servant of servants to its brethren. 1t
is not to be disposed OF by setting up a
seperate purse, any more than
by setting up a separate child. If a
man counts a woman fit to be the
mother of his children, it is little. that
she should be tit to expend money for
their rearing. If man is gentle and
soft enough to come into tender con-
tact with his little childran, he must
be malleable enough to be shaped
Alright in regard to the money that
they and their mother require. OF
course, if man is overbrutal. and the
mother oversilly. there must be
disaster, whether there be one purse
or twenty, or none. There may well
be women who have no sense about
money, just as there are women who
do not know how to bring up children.
1t is defect of character. Such
women are failure in proportion to
their defects, and their defective work, ii
can not be denied, is evil. But if both
husband and wife are of the common
type, honest, sincere. devoted, and
fairly sensible. 4 patient, continuous,
and unlovely process of consultation
and compromise will bring them
eventually into clear understanding
of relative values"

The man looked seriously at it and
replied; ''Well, no, sir. can't say as

Funeral OF q Chinese Sailor.

A sailor belonging to Chinese YES
sci lying at Spithead, England, died
recently, and was buried at the ceme-
tery there. After the coffin had been
lowered, four sailors, who occupied
a position at the foot of the grave,
produced in succession tin pail, a
parcel of matches. number of fag-
gots, and various pieces of brown pa
per A fire having been kindled, out
of the pail were brought forth several
plates. which were disposed round the
fire, lump of pork. various pieces of
meat, few eggs, and quantity of
salt and sand. These. having been
divided into fves, were cooked and
placed ON the plates, and on the con-
summation of the sucritice they were
all gathered together and returned To
the pail. A sailor now partly filled
in the grave. after which the captain
of the ship and couple of subordinate
officers came forward and prostrated
themselves three times. uttering prayer
at each genuilcoion. This completed
the ceremony.-BO BOStoH Journal.

wagon. On the top of large rock

bear. the mother having started up the
mountain on the approach of the team.
The cub not moving, the mother came
bounding back TO it, and giving it a
nudge with her nose started up the
mountain again, expecting the cub to
follow. But the little one made no
move. The old bear then came back
the second time, and taking up the
cub in her paws gave him several cuffs.

Breeding Wild Turkeys.

Several of the largest land owners
in west Prussia have formed 4 society
to promote the breeding of wild tul-
keys. which are not only very good
game, but they are also excellent at
table There was flock of wild tur-
keys, which was estimated at two
thousand, in Richmond park mp to the
reign of George H., and the duke of
Cumberland bred them in Windsor
Great park. There was also flock
at Holkham early in the present CEN
tury. and it was there discovered that
brown Norfolk turkey may be made
TO resemble the wild bird by fattening
il with walnuts soaked in water some
days before killing.

Customs and Entertainments in Russl.

Customs and Entertainments in Russia.
A lady sojourning in Russia writes to a
friend in this city from which we are per-
mitted to quote: 1.-THE climate is delight
full in st. Petersburg. All palaces, CALLER
les and churches-in fact all places are
kept so warm that not a sensation Of cold
is experienced. No one ever wears wraps
into the salon; furs and galoshes are taken
off by servants below stairs. A gentleman
would as soon think of entering draw
room minus his coat as with unpublished
boots. On entering church or gallery
wraps are always left in an ante-chamber,
and there being no dressing rooms--as in
America-at social entertainments, our
chasseur removes these down stairs, takes
charge of them and puts them on again.
Codrt balls here are the most magnificent
ir. the world, and certain ceremonials are
magnificent beyond description, such as
Che grand fete of the Epiphany, the Three
Kings and the Blessings Of the Waters.
Recall your impressions of the Arabian
Nights, and imagine the most gorgeous
ceremony possible to conceive, and you
will get but faint idea of the gorgeous
ness of these ceremonials.
1t is surprising to hear Russian ladies
speak English so well. And it Is not un-
common for children to be taught Eng
lish before any other language. OF
course French is the language of society.
In summer the city is deserted and given
over to repairs; but it is good time to
see the sights and environs. Americans
seem to feel it a sort Of disgrace not to be
born with knowledge of French; but if
foreigner knows two or three words
only of English he delights to make use
